Marvel Zombies Reading Order

I remember the first time I picked up a Marvel Zombies trade, with very little background in comics, and I was blown away at the sheer audacity and commitment of the series.

Ok, sure, zombies in the Marvel Universe, but they wouldn’t really have the good guys lose to a zombie plague right? And Sandman wouldn’t take out his revenge on zombie Spider-Man by doing… that… to Peter Parker, right?

Of course, I was (un)dead wrong. Marvel Zombies goes *there* and then some. In a perfect fit, Walking Dead writer Robert Kirkman writes Marvel Zombies, with brilliantly twisted classic Marvel covers reinterpreted to fit the land of zombies.

Below you’ll find a reading order for the entire Marvel Zombies saga, and how you can get as much blood-soaked Marvel alternate reality as possible.

Deadpool Vs. Zombies

Collects: Return Of The Living Deadpool 1-4, Prelude To Deadpool Corps 4

Writer Cullen Bunn’s standalone Deadpool graphic novels are not part of the Marvel Zombie universe at large, but set up their own Deadpool zombie-verse. Well worth a read for fans of either Deadpool or zombie comics.

Zombies In Marvel’s Secret Wars (2015)

Marvel’s 2015 mega-event, Secret Wars, features the Marvel Zombies as the plagued creatures kept beyond the SHIELD. While I highly recommend Secret Wars as a whole, below you’ll find the realms most closely tied to the Marvel Zombies!
